Former Clinton Adviser Chastises Hillary For Her Smear Campaign Against Sanders

[Shadows]

......................
She isn’t learning from this race, either. Her response to New Hampshire has been to double-down on her strategy. How such a bright person could be such a slow learner is a mystery. Her worst moments prior to New Hampshire were her ham-handed attempts to take down Sanders. Chelsea distorted his healthcare plans, Bill ripped his character. Hillary accused him of an “artful smear” for suggesting, obviously, that banks give to super PACs to influence policy. She voiced “concern” over reports he’d mingled with real live lobbyists at Democratic fundraisers. But to many voters the Clintons attacking Sanders’ integrity was like draft-avoider George W. Bush swift-boating Purple Heart-winner John Kerry — except this time it backfired, and her whole family took the hit.

She plays one of the dirtiest campaign for a Democrat...

"When Clinton at last holstered her weapon, moderators Judy Woodruff and Gwen Ifill, who’d done yeoman’s work to that point, said there wasn’t time for Sanders to answer her final fusillade, but that he could do so in his closing remarks."


I like this part. Judy is obviously a Clinton foundation donor n stuff. This was disgraceful...

Hillary uses ever dirty trick available. And now a Republican SuperPAC is running ads against him. Bernie has to fight Hillary, the DNC, the media, and the Republicans all at once.

I weep for the Sandernistas.

I don't understand the 'smear campaign' you guys are talking about.  Clinton's attacks on Sanders have had to do with his policy positions, voting record, public political statements, or revolve around the fact that too often he answers questions with 'a noun, a verb, and wall street'.

These aren't unfair attacks, and if Sanders is incapable of diffusing them then he would never be able to survive a general election campaign.  Because these attacks are positively mild compared to what the GOP will cook up for the general election.  

One of the silver linings to Sanders winning the nomination would be to chuckle at how some of his supporters devolve into hysterics every time their candidate is attacked.

At this point she might have decided to curtail the personal attacks, but alas, no. In a public television debate two days after the primary, she waited till the last second to launch an attack, this time on Sanders’ alleged disloyalty to Obama. It seems this will be a principal theme going forward, so in case you missed, a sample:

“Today Senator Sanders said President Obama failed the presidential leadership test…. he has called him weak. He has called him a disappointment. He wrote a forward for a book that basically argued voters should have buyers’ remorse when it comes to President Obama’s leadership and legacy it is the kind of criticism I expect from Republicans. Calling the president weak…  [Saying] several times he should have a primary opponent when he ran for re-election…”

Much of this is flat-out false; all is shorn of context and rife with what Politifact called “half-truths.” Bill Press wrote a book criticizing Obama, but Sanders didn’t write the foreword (just a blurb that doesn’t criticize Obama). He never called Obama weak or a disappointment, though he once said Obama showed weakness in budget negotiations. Talking to a radio host who wanted Obama primaried, Sanders said open debate was a good thing. But notice in the above quote how Clinton, the Mary Lou Retton of syntax, made it seem Sanders said all these things.

This is part of it - Sanders did say as a President he will be able to bring more people together, When asked if Obama could provide that leadership, he said something like not in this case.

He never said Obama failed the President's leadership test. The entire attack was twisting it.

BTW this is what she is doing in Nevada & SC - Push polls saying Sanders will raise huge Middle Class taxes, an utter lie, there is no Income Tax planned for Incomes under 250K.

And then saying Sanders will take down Obamacare

Yesterday she instead of saying good about herself in the Civil rights meeting said people should not trust guys who come during votes & pretend to like black people & what not.

Bad bad woman - She deserves Trump - Can't wait for Trump to destroy the Clinton family!
